Motivation for this change

These were rejected upstream, sadly elementary/wingpanel-indicator-datetime#207.

There's been lots of regressions and it's not very usable in NixOS. Luckily though, there's patches that fix all of this, and I've been using them for probably a week now. Once upstream resolves the issues I will drop this downstream patch.
